Question 28
Problem:
If of of of a number is 25, what is the number?
Solution:
Let the number be . Then:
Simplify the left-hand side:
Multiply both sides by 20:
Answer: (D) 500
Question 29
Problem:
Find the remainder when is divided by 18.
Solution:
Using Fermat's Little Theorem:
a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \mod p \text{ (when ap are coprime)}
Here, and are coprime. Since , .
, so .
Now, divide by : Thus, . Calculate : So, the remainder is .
Answer: (A) 1
Question 30
Problem:
A number, when divided by 296, leaves a remainder of 75. When the same number is divided by 37, what is the remainder?
Solution:
Using modular arithmetic:
We know . Since modulo 296 also satisfies modulo 37:
So, the remainder is .
Answer: (A) 1
Question 31
Problem:
When a natural number is divided by 4, the remainder is 3. What is the remainder when is divided by 4?
Solution:
If , then:
So, the remainder is .
Answer: (B) 2
Question 32
Problem:
A man traveled of his journey by coach, by rail, and walked the remaining 1 km. How far did he go?
Solution:
Let the total distance be . Then:
Simplify:
The total distance is km.
Answer: (A) 22 km
Question 33
Problem:
A boy was asked to multiply a number by 53. By mistake, he multiplied it by 35. If his answer was 1206 less than the correct one, find the number.
Solution:
Let the number be . The equation is:
Simplify:
Answer: (B) 67
